Recenzii

“This text presents a fascinating examination of its subject and offers an important contribution to our understanding of the role football plays in our culture and society. I recommend it to all academic readers interested in postmodernism or sports culture.” (Danielle Sarver Coombs, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 96 (2), 2019)
